The Ministry of Commerce and Industry, in cooperation with the Ministry of Municipality, announced the launch of an electronic linking system that enables livestock breeders to update their livestock possession information online. The integration aims to enhance digital transformation, improve the quality of services provided to citizens, and ensure operational excellence.
The Ministry of Commerce and Industry noted that the initiative enables beneficiaries to update their possession certificate data online, without visiting the Livestock Department at the Ministry of Municipality. The Supply and Strategic Inventory Department at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry will make this data available to breeders to allow access to subsidised feed, e.g. barley.
Commenting on the rollout, Mr. Hassan bin Sultan Al-Ghanim, Assistant Undersecretary for Consumer Affairs at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, stated that electronic linking simplifies the procedure and saves the time and effort of livestock breeders; allowing them to secure subsidised feed without filing paper certificates. The procedure improves operational efficiency and supports the livestock sector nationwide, he added.
Al-Ghanim pointed out that integrating systems among ministries improves the quality of service, speeds up transactions, and reduces pressure at service centres. He stressed that the initiative is one of the Ministry’s endeavours focused on achieving national development goals and enabling digital transformation under Qatar National Vision 2030.
For his part, Mr. Hamad bin Khalifa Al Khalifa, Assistant Undersecretary for Shared Services Affairs at the Ministry of Municipality, assessed that the deployment of the service fulfils the goals of both ministries, and complements their cooperation in other areas of integration of shared services. He added that the integration advances digital transformation, raises service quality and improves overall performance; noting that data integration between the two ministries, and among ministries at large, addresses several goals, including ensuring data accuracy, promoting paperless transactions, and making the service available online, anytime and anywhere.
Mr. Abdullah Khalifa Al Kuwari, Director of the Supply and Strategic Inventory Department at the Ministry of Commerce and Industry, stressed the Ministry’s keenness to extend all possible support to breeders to ensure the sustainability of the agricultural and livestock sectors. The electronic linking enables the provision of instant and accurate information and high-quality services for livestock breeders, he added.
